Dear WRF Supporters,
I'm trying to go a little bit into the detail of the SKINTEMP and SST.
I run WRF with NCEP GDAS data.
Once I download the grib files I run two times ungrib, first with Vtable.GFS, then with Vtable.SST.
The point is that both SKINTEMP and SST are derived (I guess looking at the Vtable) from the same field in the input grib files. Am I correct?
Then running metgrid, the two variables appear different because the interpolation/masking are different in the metgrid.tbl.
If I add the only line of Vtable.SSt in Vtable.GFS and run ungrib, the intermediate files do not contain the SST, but only the SKINTEMP.
Why this happen?
